What started out as a tourist’s souvenir of a trip to New York’s Times Square has become an Internet sensation and is now key evidence in the trial of a former NYPD officer. Patrick Pogan is being tried on charges of assaulting a bicycling activist and lying about it. The video shows the officer body-slamming the cyclist to the ground. It drew more than 2.1 million online views. Defense lawyers say the clip, along with another taken at the same time, don’t show the full picture of what happened.
